I like to have a record of my favourites and although I didn't read as much crime fiction this year almost every book was excellent. I can recommend all of these.There were things I didn't like about GG but overall the originality and the twist made it a winner for me.,

I loved 'The Beautiful Mystery'. I think Penny just gets better and better with each book. As, does Tana French. There are authors here I haven't tried, so thank you for a list that may furnish my own reading for next year.
